The room was spotless and spacious. The front desk attendant was courteous and gave good customer service. Breakfast was great to have and I had no issues during my stay.
This was an excellent hotel. The breakfast items ran out early and were not replaced, but what I had was sufficient. Parking was easy. The room was clean. The staff was friendly.
I am an OC person the room was clean for the price. the staff was kool, the breakfast was ok for the price the heat worked will. if i am ever in town for a cheap stay this will be the place.
Good place to stay. Pet friendly. Meets basic needs. No frills plus family owned.

Check in was easy! Beds were super comfortable. Not the cleanest room but acceptable. The building it’s self was a little run down but we had a great affordable stay
This is a budget option, but it was clean and comfortable. There aren't a lot of frills, but there is a basic breakfast and you can tell they are working to renovate. We will be back.

At the price this place charges, you get why you get.
I stayed 3 nights. Switched rooms after the first night bc the faucet in the shower was broke. The hotel is old. If you’re looking for Nice and updated this isn’t your place. Just being honest.
But if you want comfortable place to lay your head for a cheap price this is the spot. I slept great. Breakfast was hot. Typical hotel breakfast but no waffle maker.
Again. Look at the price.There is breakfast and no bugs. The lady that works late night is also super cool.
Breakfast was great. We only stayed one night. Rooms where clean and staff was professional. It looked like they were making improvements to the building so that always a plus.
